We had a nice day at home. I needed it. I am still a bit sore but I slept pretty well last night. My feet hurt a little bit and I swear the kids kept on stepping on them, ugh. The kiddos were in their jammies until after lunch today. We played at home all morning; for the most part the kids played pretty well. It was hard keeping everything clean though as the cleaners came. I love having a clean house. We also had the bug people out to spray for everything; mostly I called as I saw a black widow and freaked. While the cleaners were here, the kiddos and I played downstairs. When they came downstairs we ran to do a few errands. We went to take my mom necklace in to be repaired then just ran to the grocery store. The kids did great helping me pick out some food, putting in the cart, etc. When we got home the kiddos watched Curious George. Then we played some more. But we needed to get out of the house. So we got outside and there was Zoe. The kids threw the ball for her and were so happy to see her. Then we went for a bike ride around the neighborhood. The kids did great on their bikes and had fun. Nicole told the neighbors that they got the bikes for Christmas. We saw Cindy and dropped something off at a neighbor’s house. We went around the entire neighborhood. When we got home the kiddos said they were sweaty and went inside. They went looking for their Leapsters and it didn’t take long for them to find them. So they played upstairs for a bit while dad and I dealt with dinner. Justin loved daddy’s tacos-he was taking huge bites. Glad daddy has someone to eat Mexican food with. After dinner the kids used daddy as a jungle gym, climbing all over him. We picked our sharing for tomorrow and wrote clues. Nicole is taking the pink dog and its little house-Justin is taking his green airplane. Then the kids practiced their sharing. We went upstairs to start getting ready for bed. I tortured Nicole making her try on some clothes, new ones and ones from last year. I am trying to figure out what I need to buy for her. She was a trooper though. We read books. Nicole was getting a little cranky; she seemed tired. Kiddos are sleeping and I am going to relax.
